Fin knows all
about living life to the fullest. She had everything - freedom, excitement, and
a promising athletic career. But it was all torn from her when a night of risky
behavior ended in tragedy. Now she's doing everything she can to protect her
sister from following in her tarnished footsteps.

Sawyer has never
had boundaries of any sort. He asks for forgiveness rather than permission.
Until one bad decision has him running from someone who doesn't forgive easily
- or ever. In order to stay alive, and out of prison, Sawyer has no choice left
but to rely on boundaries.

When the two
cross paths, mixed feelings of hesitation and curiosity taunt their emotions
and convictions. Chances are taken. Rules are broken. And they both know it all
could lead to the lives they want - lives too perilous to live. Can they grow a
relationship in their current safe and ordinary lives? Or will the temptation
for adventure lead down a path from which they can't return?

Sawyer &
Fin is Book One of the Adventurous Hearts series

Live and love
your life, one adventure at a time.

“What
are we doing?” he questions, as he pulls hastily from our kiss. He shakes his
head. “We can't do this. I can't do this with you.” He backs away a step,
taking the heat of our passionate moment with him.

I step
forward, not wanting to let it go. “We can do this. It's okay. What are you so
afraid of? We need this. And you are lying to yourself if you say or think
otherwise.”

We
stand silent for a moment. Then, I make a decision for us both. I lean in and
curl my fingers around the back of his neck. I brush my lips against his and he
takes them forcefully while wrapping one arm around my waist, pulling me tight
to his body. He gently tugs at my braided ponytail.

“You
have no idea how much this braid drives me wild,” he speaks into my lips with a
wicked grin.

“You could
show me just how much,” I speak back, attempting to match his expression.

He lets
out a low growl and my insides burn. I want all of him to consume all of me. We
kiss more, hard and fast, and our hands roam and explore each other. I move my
hand under his shirt and rake my fingers up his taut abs. As I make my way up
his chest, I feel a raised line of skin.

The
scar.

My mind
races over what could have caused such a sizable mark. I've had my fingers on
it for no longer than a second when Sawyer flinches and pulls away again. He
removes my hand from his shirt and then runs his fingers brashly through his
hair.

“I
can't do this, Fin. I can't. I want to. Believe me. But you deserve better.”

I look
down at my feet while my hands wring within one another. “You have no idea what
I deserve,” I say, ashamed at thinking for even a second I had a chance at
being happy again.

“You
know why I'm here, Fin. And you know I'm no good for you. I have so many
secrets. Secrets that if you knew, you'd run away faster than the wind.”

“So
tell me!” I exclaim in frustration. “Make me run. That's the only way you're
getting rid of me.”

He
shakes his head again while gripping the back of his neck. “I can’t.”

I sigh.

I step
toward him again, my inner daredevil taking control of me. I lean in close to
his ear and whisper.
